ATR #81 – Seattle 48 Hour Horror Project 2017!

Time to get scary on this week’s episode and focus on another local film festival that happened this past weekend; the “Seattle 48 Hour Horror Film Project”!

Teams from all over the Pacific Northwest participated in this awesome film festival, and I highly encourage people to check out a 48 Hour Film Project in their area. You can find out more about the Seattle 48 by going to their website: www.48hourfilm.com/seattle-wa

Hey John. Andrew here of Twisted Ladder. Have listened to both your 2017 podcast on the 48 Hour Film Projects and enjoy them. My brother and I will have to hangout and talk to you after the next festival. Oh, and there’s no way we’d leave comics in a garage, those are empty boxes. The comics are covered and on the shelf inside. There are a lot of really good films that were made in these 48 Hour Film Projects, glad you enjoyed our films.
